CHAPTER ONE
Banking was introduced into Nigeria by
the colonial master in the 19th century by Elder Dampels Company
after the failure at the bank system.
Between 1959 and 1993 many banks were
established some operated while some collapsed because there were no specific
laws, regulation the practice of banking. It was a “laisez fair” era dominated
by the rules at thumb.
The first indigenous legislation enacted
to regulated bank business is the banking ordinance 1952 which introduce the
principle at bank licensing based on the fulfillment at certain condition such
as meeting the minimum capital and other specified requirement.
The level of fraud in the present day Nigeria has
assumed an epidemic dimension. It has eaten deep into every aspect of our life
to the extent that a three year old child talk about yahoo mail or 419 (advance
free fraud), newly discovered sobriquet for advance free fraud that is hunting
us as a nation. Nigeria
which all of its natural and human resources tether on the brink of destruction
because of fraud much of what we do is “cutting leaves” instead of dealing with
the root problem.
Generally, fraud takes its roots from
the human heart. It is anoxia that the heart is deceitful adores all things and
is desperately wicked fraud is the number one enemy of the business world, no
company is commune to it and it’s in all work of life.
No area of the economy is immune from
fraud, if nation checked might cause run on the banking sector.
